It will work out incident angles for all the balls struck, leaving you with nothing to do other than judging the speed of the shot and keeping your hand steady.
9) For rougher surfaces, the 60[degrees] gloss measurement provides a higher signal-to-noise than the 20[degrees] gloss measurement due to a higher reflectance value for incident angle of 60[degrees] than that of 20[degrees].
measured the spectral beam-beam trans-mittance, beam-diffuse transmittance, and beam-diffuse reflectance at incident angles ranging from 0 to 60[degrees] and then calculated the corresponding solar properties (ASTM 1996).
